Securitize plans to launch a fully on-chain US stock trading platform in early 2026.

BlockBeats News, December 17, Tokenization service provider Securitize announced its plans to launch in early 2026 what it calls the first fully compliant, fully on-chain operated platform for trading real public company stocks, further bridging the traditional financial market with Web3 infrastructure.

According to the announcement, the platform will allow investors to directly hold real on-chain issued and registered public company shares and trade them through a blockchain interface. Unlike "synthetic stocks" that only track stock prices through derivatives or offshore structures, Securitize's model provides full legal ownership, with shares issued directly by the issuing company and recorded in the official shareholder register.

Securitize stated that on-chain stockholders will enjoy real shareholder rights, including dividends and voting rights, with assets self-custodied by users, eliminating the scenario of intermediaries privately rehypothecating shares. However, due to compliance requirements, the related assets can only be transferred between whitelisted wallets.

The trading interface will adopt a DeFi-like Swap style, but will be backed by SEC-registered broker-dealers and transfer agents. During US stock trading hours, prices will align with mainstream exchanges and adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) rule; during non-trading hours, automated market makers will price the assets, enabling 24/7 continuous trading.
